I'm changing the "Ball Machine Session" into a weekly drill session. Anyone is welcome, and we'll spend two hours drilling with and without the ball machine. I'll modify the drills depending on who attends, but every session will include dinking, drop shots and resets, because that's what I'm currently working on.
